    Old House With 1820s Gravestones Need Help!!

    I would agree with Ron (Bearswede) check within for any inside privy but off the main house first. Then start your search off house from pic 3. I mean really would Miss Scarlet travel all that far to go to the privy?? As far as your pic's go ...wow if 12 oaks where BBQ'N tonight...I'd be there...

    Strange Green Depression Glass Figural Man Bottle - NEED HELP!

    I'm by no means any kind of expert but would say it looks somewhat like a candy bottle. The length threw me off on thinking that but some are as large as 11 1/4" so it still could be possible. I'm sure others (experts) can help you better than I. Just wanted to say my guess....candy.
